Prof. Luis Enrique Gómez Quiroz, Ph.D., assumed the position of Vice President of Academic and International Affairs at the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) for the period 2025-2029.

Prof. Gómez Quiroz is a full-time Professor C at the Department of Health Sciences at the Autonomous Metropolitan University, Iztapalapa Campus. He graduated from the postgraduate program in Experimental Biology (master's and doctoral degrees), earning the university merit medal at both levels.

Subsequently, he completed his postdoctoral work at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States. His work focused on the cellular, molecular, and genomic mechanisms of the initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma, a field in which he continues to develop. In addition, his research interests include gene expression control through changes in the cellular redox state regulated by HGF and c-Met, as well as the mechanisms of damage and repair in liver diseases, employing in vitro cell models, genomics, genetic engineering, preclinical animal models, and clinical approaches in patients. He has supervised numerous doctoral, master's, and undergraduate theses.

He has received various national and international awards. He is a fellow of the National System of Researchers (SNII) at its highest level (III); the Mexican Academy of Sciences; the National Academy of Medicine of Mexico; the International Liver Cancer Association (ILCA); among other national and international scientific organizations. He has published over 160 works, most of them international, including original articles, review articles, books, and book chapters. He has served as an evaluator for the best doctoral theses at CINVESTAV (Arturo Rosenblueth Award), a member of the Awards Committee of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, and the Mexican Foundation for Liver Health, among others.

He has taught at higher education institutions and research centers in Mexico and abroad, notably at Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea; Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany; and Rennes University in France.

He was a visiting professor at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the NIH in Bethesda, MD, USA. He has delivered lectures at various conferences, symposia, and meetings in Egypt, Spain, Japan, France, the United States, Italy, China, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Korea, among others.

He maintains scientific collaborations with institutions in the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, and Korea in the fields of cancer biology and genomics, experimental medicine, and cellular redox biology.
